Bratz Director Hired

Ready or not, the popular doll line Bratz is coming to the big-screen. The live-action feature film is poised to begin filming this February in Los Angeles.

Sean McNamara (That's So Raven, The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold) has been tapped to direct the movie, according to ProductionWeekly.com.

The screenplay was penned by John Doolittle, who also wrote the direct-to-video release Bratz: Babyz the Movie.

The feature film reportedly "follows Yasmin, Ari, Cloe, and Jade, 4 very different teenage girls from different worlds who bond over the ups and downs of adolescent life at Lewis & Clark High School. The girls learn the value of real friend ship in spite of the social pressures of school, family and the expectation to be cool."

20th Century Fox acquired the live-action and animated film rights to the Bratz line back in 2004.
